metadata does not seem to show in the Mailtrap dashboard. What could be the reason ?

$email->getHeaders()->add(new TagHeader('booking'));
$email->getHeaders()->add(new MetaDataHeader('booking_uid', $booking->getUid()));
$email->getHeaders()->add(new MetaDataHeader('customer_uid', $customer->getUid()));

It's correct too when I dump the result, I see the following:

TripController.php on line 77:
array:5 [▼
  0 => "To: My Name <my_email@gmail.com>"
  1 => "Subject: Booking Confirmation for Visit Krypton"
  2 => "X-Tag: booking"
  3 => "X-Metadata-booking_uid: 41q3zC2BVsErBYjn"
  4 => "X-Metadata-customer_uid: iLuLsHYQwr4gLLty"
]

Hey @sujal_k!

Without revealing the sensitive key, what's your MAILER_DSN look like?

|

sujal_k kbond 1 year ago

It looks like:
smtp://api:<SECRET_KEY>@live.smtp.mailtrap.io:587

That api key is not working, so I copied SMTP one.

|

sujal_k sujal_k 1 year ago

It seems working now, I see the metadata in mailtrap, I just used that API one for SMTP in that .env.local file, seems working.
Thank you.

Glad you got it working.

I see the issue. They're SMTP code snippet for Symfony shows the generic STMP MAILER_DSN which doesn't use the bridge. It should be MAILER_DSN=mailtrap+smtp://<SECRET_KEY>@default to benefit from the bridge (and add the metadata/tag).

I'll notify Mailtrap to get that fixed.
